Well this one is simple but keep in mind when u drill , 1/4 bit btw, make sure u dont get to close like i did or u will leave a small dimple ,, i used a mini drill press , i shouldve used the gauges but both lights has different depths so i just eyeballed it ,, the olight has alot thicker mass , i used 3mm thick neo magnets and on the olight it is flush in the hole that is how thick that baby is ,, the trust fire is half that thick ,, and u dont have to use a press because u can see it anyway so a hand drill will work ,, get the hole started and then use one of your old drill bits and cut it flush and then make a V in the middle to get the point the first drill bit flattened so the magnets will be closer to the surface for more stick ;)
how i did the dril bit,, used a jewelers tool to make the cuts , like a dremel just sounds like a dentist tool , lol
that dimple i was referring about, almost went too much, lol not too bad though
see the magnet behind the spring
these r the magnets used , i use them for batteries to
Voila
and my olight beside it , didnt think i needed to take pics of it ,, same thing just deeper hole
I took the liberty of fine tuning your post... I am too lazy to click each image-link. ;-)

I took the liberty of fine tuning your post. Pics are too small for my old eyes to see what's happening in them so I made them clickable.

Yes but if u drill it out it will be very firm hold ,also on olight is too thick without drilling Thanks guys for fixing the pictures:)

Quite right. But for many without the proper equipment there will be a great risk
of making a hole in the endcap.
I was just trying to tell that putting a magnet inside without drilling will
